This lecture by N.R. Jenzen-Jones, Editor of Armax: The Journal of Contemporary Arms, explores the significant but often overlooked industrialization in Afghanistan during the late 19th century under Abdur Rahman Khan, the 'Iron Emir'. The focus is on the mass production of the Martini-Henry rifle at the Kabul Arsenal, an achievement made possible by British and British Indian expertise. Beyond firearms, the arsenal also produced machine-minted coinage, cartridges, and introduced technologies like steam engines, electricity, and railways to Afghanistan. The lecture delves into the broad range of outputs and the individuals behind these advancements.
